[PHP] php and drop down boxes
hi... i have a few things i need and dont know where to go to get some ideas/examples of how to do some things: 1. i need to know how to take info from a mysql db load it into a dropdown box and then select as the default choice whatever value was in the db: i.e. i have a combo box with the month/year. the drop down boxes option values for the month and year are numbers: for the month 1-12 and for the year: 2004-2038. now when lets say i have the variables: $edit['Month'] and $edit[Year'] which hold month/year values from the db...now how would i make those variables the default select choice in the combo boxes?? 2. i need to make a combo box of jan-dec and view all. the values for the drop down box will be 1-12 and 0 (0 is for view all). now the combo box will need to go to a db search for all relevant records on the month selected and show them on a page (the only catche is the combo box needs to be visible on all pages)... anybody know where i can go to find out how to do all of this?? any searches i tried to do all come back with loading dynamic content into a box but i dont need that...they never talk about making a default selected state with php and stuff... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] php and drop down boxes
Well, here's the long way of doing it that I ended up using! For my

$tournamentDay, $tournamentMonth, $tournamentYear which are evaluated for each
drop-down.
I might work on a neater solution actually!

Subject: [PHP] php and drop down boxes
hi...
i have a few things i need and dont know where to go to get some
ideas/examples of how to do some things:
1. i need to know how to take info from a mysql db load it into a dropdown
box and then select as the default choice whatever value was in the db: i.e.
i have a combo box with the month/year. the drop down boxes option values
for the month and year are numbers: for the month 1-12 and for the year:
2004-2038. now when lets say i have the variables: $edit['Month'] and
$edit[Year'] which hold month/year values from the db...now how would i make
those variables the default select choice in the combo boxes??
2. i need to make a combo box of jan-dec and view all. the values for the
drop down box will be 1-12 and 0 (0 is for view all). now the combo box will
need to go to a db search for all relevant records on the month selected and
show them on a page (the only catche is the combo box needs to be visible on
all pages)...
anybody know where i can go to find out how to do all of this??
any searches i tried to do all come back with loading dynamic content into a
box but i dont need that...they never talk about making a default selected
state with php and stuff...

[PHP] Zlib.output_compression - Problem
Hi everybody,
I initially posted this on a german php-list, then i tried on
php-install on php.net but did not get one single answer yet. I hope
there is somebody on this list that can help me:
I am having a problem with zlib-compression-settings in php.ini and the
sending of 'normal' files with handcrafted headers that i can't pin
down. As it should not be my code (worked well on other servers) i hope
this is the right list for it.
I am currently using php4.3.4 on a Apache 1.3.26, both compiled myself
on a debian woody-server (compiled php with --with-zlib=/usr/local where
it was found).
My initial problem was, that on our website i am using phpCMS (some
templatesystem) and it does have a function to use gzip-compression on
all webpages it produces which used to work fine on a different server.
Now on this server as long as i have zlib.output_compression activated
in php.ini it takes nearly half a minute for the server to create and
send a small html-file. This is also the case if i tell phpCMS to not
use gzip-compression - possibly a error in that templatesystem?
Well i don't really need that so i deactivated zlib.output-compression
in php.ini so now our website is as fast as expected again.
BUT:
On the server i also have our intranet. There i produce some pdfs (using
fpdf) and also sometimes just create a textfile and want it to be sent
for downloading (VCS-Files are Calendarentries that are simple
Textfiles). Both don't work anymore if accessed with the Internet
Explorer - they still work with Opera.
(IE tells the user it cannot find the page). Unfortunately all our users
have IE, so whenever somebody needs some pdf or vcs created they come to
me ;(
The relevant part in fpdf as well as in my scripts is:
snip
if (!empty($HTTP_USER_AGENT)
(strpos($HTTP_USER_AGENT, 'MSIE 5.5')
|| strpos($HTTP_USER_AGENT, 'Opera'))) {
header('Content-Type: application/dummy');
} else {
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
}
header('Content-Length: ' . strlen($text));
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=urlaub.vcs'); echo
$text; /snip
So as you can see there is no mentioning of compression there, i don't
have any idea why this should not work with IE and
zlib.output_compression off.
I would allready be thankful for hints were to start looking for
pinpointing the Problem.

Re: [PHP] regular expression
Alright,
first of all, in E-Mail Headers every param needs to be written in a
seperate line, therefore following will work even with multiple recipients:
$recipients = array();
$header = explode( \n , $header );
foreach ( $header AS $param ) {
$param = trim ( $param );
if ( strtolower( substr( $param , 0 , 3 ) ) == 'to:' ) {
$recipients[] = trim ( substr( $param , 3 ) );
}
}
This will match every of these:
'TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
' TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
' TO:Mr Baz [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
' TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
etc. pp

PS: I'm not sure about wether 'TO :' is allowed or not - sad thing :-)

Re: [PHP] assign mysql query to a variable first or not
One of the greatest benefits is the fact, that you can easily display your actual query without copying it, passing it to a variable and then display it's content: $result = mysql_query( ); would first become: $var = ; $result = mysql_query( ); echo $var ; now if the query fails, you have to rewrite the Query, copy it to the variable again etc. pp When doing $var = . ; $result = mysql_query( $var ); echo $var ; you just have to rewrite one query instead of two.

This works:

This does too:

I don't advise this type of insert query. If you ever add a new field to
the table all of your queries will break since this style requires
ordered matching of values to table fields for every field in the table.
You should use the field names in the query:
$sql =
INSERT INTO $guestbookTable
(
field1,
field2,
field3
)
VALUES
(
'$value1',
'$value2',
'$value3'
) ;

My suggestion would be to run the PHP Web Server on a different server to where you are retrieving your files. The file server can then define its own polices of what you can read/write to etc. Your web server can then map a drive to the file server, and anybody writing PHP scripts won't be able to modify read-only scripts.

My concerns are that the client *could* use a php script to access parts of the file system, registry (this is a Win32 environment), or other such things. What web server are you going to use? Either way, PHP runs as a specific user (IUSR_computer_name with IIS, for example). This user shouldn't be able to access anything in the filesystem except what's in the webroot (ensure this is true for your machine). This assumes an NTFS filesystem, btw. In order to protect things under the webroot, that's where safe_mode, openbasedir, etc, come into play as explained in the article you linked to. You're right to be concerned, but it can be done safely. In addition to all of the above, get something IN WRITING stipulating what the user is allowed to do, terms of service, etc. That way if you catch them doing something, you'll be safe legally to go after them.

RE: [PHP] smarty
I use Smarty for most of my commericial and non commercial websites, it makes it very easy to share and re-use code because the appliciation logic is separate from the presentation logic. It also makes it possible to encode the scripts using Zend Encoder, Turck MMCache or similar projects which leaving the site owner the ability to change their template files where encoding scripts that contained the HTML inline would make this impossible. I use PHPDocumentor to give them API documentation so they can add additional pages, functionality to their site whether it has been encoded or not. It also keeps people out of where they shouldn't be (for example users tend to introduce parse errors when editing PHP files) and gives them an easy to understand interface to their site. I also use Smarty template caching, and end user caching and output compression, resulting in lightening fast websites for the user on most internet connections. I've tried other templating engines including FastTemplate and haven't been as impressed as I am with Smarty, of course the power comes with the price that you are slowing execution slightly but the increased development speed and other benefits usually outweigh the costs in my case.

Re: [PHP] Validating form field text input to be a specificvariable type
I guess that works but every possible solution posted in this thread is
a lot of lines of code to perform a simple validation.
PHP should offer/modify the appropriate API to do this. I remember that
is_numeric() didn't exist before.
Something like:
is_float_string(mixed value)
or modify is_numeric() to explictly perform an integer validation:
is_numeric(mixed value [, bool is_integer = false])
is_numeric(5.5, true) == false, 5.5 is not an integer string
is_numeric(10, true) == true
May be filing a bug report will do the trick. ;-)

Assuming $old['Type'] somehow comes from $_REQUEST['eventtype'] (or is

Another way:
$checked[$old['Type']] = ' checked';
echo input type=\radio\ name=\eventtype\ value=\Annual\
{$checked['Annual']}Yes;
echo input type=\radio\ name=\eventtype\ value=\OneTime\
{$checked['OneTime']}No;
This method works even better when you have an array('Annual' = 'Yes',
'OneTime' = 'No') that you use to build the checkboxes.

If I can take first shot, since this was posted to the list... :)
It's basically a wrapper around Smarty to automatically load the
header-content-footer template and dynamically fill in the content based on
what's passed to render. So, displaying all of your different pages would be
as simple as:
$pt = new MyPage;
$pt-render('contact.tpl');
$pt -render('prices.tpl');
$pt-render('index.tpl');
etc... The wrapper automatically loads the master template with the
header and footer, and then replaces the {content} tag with the content of
the appropriate template that render() was passed.
Just one method of many. If I'm interpreting it right, that is. :)

You must be overwriting $query somewhere before you use it in
mysql_fetch_array(). Do a var_dump() on $query just before you try to

Re: [PHP] confused big time

a handy function to do array inserts and it builds the sql for you.
function arrayINSERT($a,$tablename)
{
$sql = INSERT INTO $tablename (;
foreach($a as $key = $value)
{
$sql .= $key .,;
}
$sql[strlen($sql)-1] = ')';
$sql .= VALUES (;

{

{
$sql .= '. addslashes($value) .',;
}
else
{
$sql .= $value .,;
}
}
$sql[strlen($sql)-1] = ')';
return $sql;
}
if you do this :
$a['field1'] = $blah;
$a['field2'] = $here;
$a['field3'] = $etc;
$sql = arrayINSERT($a,tablename);
it builds the sql statement for you. It covers 99.9% of the inserts
your likely to need. I use an update and insert function like this all
the time. :-)

To get your list of columns, you could do this:
$column_list = implode(',',array_keys($a));
$sql = INSERT INTO $tablename ($column_list) VALUES ;
That way you only have to loop through $a once.

On mysql it's '2004-03-01 12:00:00' if you get into the habbit of *always* converting the date into a db friendly string, then you'll never have date insert problems and it can be used in the function without issues.

Going even one step further (the beauty of Smarty: always another

just extend the Smarty object itself. Then, instead of making all your

make your overall page be a template, and the extended Smarty object
can
be given extra functionality to control the page:
{* MyPage.tpl -- Smarty template for the entire page *}
...header...

// actualphpcode.php -- called by the browser
$pt = new MyPage;
$pt-render('pagecontent.tpl');
Sorry, I'm feeling better now but still don't understand what you're
telling me/us. Could you please expound? What functionality does this
afford?
If I can take first shot, since this was posted to the list... :)
No!!! Well, OK. :)
It's basically a wrapper around Smarty to automatically load the
header-content-footer template and dynamically fill in the content based
on what's passed to render. So, displaying all of your different pages
would be as simple as:
$pt = new MyPage;
$pt-render('contact.tpl');
$pt -render('prices.tpl');
$pt-render('index.tpl');
etc... The wrapper automatically loads the master template with the
header and footer, and then replaces the {content} tag with the content of
the appropriate template that render() was passed.
Just one method of many. If I'm interpreting it right, that is. :)
Ahh OK, that makes sense, 'cept now you've introduced new confusion
(sorry, I must be dense today). What's with loading all of your pages
(contact/prices/index) in one page?
Or are you saying:
$pt = new MyPage;
$pt-render('contact.tpl');
OR
$pt = new MyPage;
$pt -render('prices.tpl');
OR
$pt = new MyPage;
$pt-render('index.tpl');
I can see the benefit of this method if that's what you mean.

Re: [PHP] confused big time
You could even do:
$sql .= ( '.implode( ',' , $a ).' );
This way everything is quoted though ( but this doesn't matter using
MySQL anyway ).
If you want to escape the values of $a you could use array_map to
do this also without having to loop :-)

[...]
To get your list of columns, you could do this:
$column_list = implode(',',array_keys($a));
$sql = INSERT INTO $tablename ($column_list) VALUES ;
That way you only have to loop through $a once.

Re: [PHP] Re: php + lynx + grep
Try adding the apache user to sudoers in /etc/sudoers if not already there DANGER WILL ROBINSON. Don't add the Apache user to /etc/sudoers -- Apache's security model relies on that user being unprivileged. lynx --source http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/KTOL.html |grep -v '41-35-19N' |grep TOL | head -n 1 I need to get the output of the above command for a web site I'm working on. I've tried exec(), system() and neither seems to work. Have you verified that lynx, grep, and head are in PHP's path? Check the output of `which lynx` or phpinfo() to figure out what your path is, and whether it includes lynx. Alternatively, use a full path to lynx to avoid confusion. - michal migurski- contact info and pgp key: sf/cahttp://mike.teczno.com/contact.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Can I get varaibles from an include file without exectuting it?
I agree, the only way I see it can be done is to read the include file in as Text, and parse it. I have a script that is run with a cronjob and would like to fetch some variables from it, using another file, without the script executing. I could resort to putting the variables in a third file, or reading the script as a text file and reconstructing the variables. But, I was hoping there is a better way. Any suggestions? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] regular expression
* Thus wrote Robert Kornfeld ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
hey, professionals out there:
i need to write a parser for an email-header to retrieve the email of the
'To:'-field.
there are 2 possibilities:
'To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' or
'To: first foo [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
Actually the second one needs to be
first foo [EMAIL PROTECTED] - or -
foo [EMAIL PROTECTED]
so you need something like:
/([^]*([^]+)|(.*))/
That will parse one address. if you have more than one address
you'll have to break the address list apart sperated by ';'
ie. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; foo bar [EMAIL PROTECTED]
$emails = explode(';', $email_list);
and to get that email address list you'll have to take into account
folding ie.
To: address;
address2@
domain.com
So to allow for this while reading the header lines:
$last_field = '';
foreach($headerline) {
// detect a folded header line
if ($headerline{1} == ' ' || $headerline{1} == \t ) {
$headers[$last_field] .= trim($headerline);
continue;
}
// check for end of headers
if ($headerline{1} == \n) {
break;// we're done with headers.
}
//now split the field
list($field, $data) = explode(':', $headerline, 2);
// ensure name is consistent ok
$field = strtolower($field);
// save the data
$headers[$field] = $data;
// incase its folded
$last_field = $field;
}
Now apply the other two methods to $headers['to'];
that was a little more than a regex, but I hope it helps.

if i understand the readable way right...
no, not quite. here is how you should do it (imo):
1. always write SQL commands in upper case. i.e. SELECT name FROM
table
2. indent the different sections of the query. i'm not sure that i'm
indenting correctly, but i'm basically just copying SQL statements i've
seen in the past, as far as indentation goes.
$query =
INSERT INTO table
VALUES
( '{$array['index1']['index2']}'
, '{$array['index2']['index3']}' );
oh btw if you do something like that is it possible to insert
comments in the middle of a query like that without breaking it up
(i.e. for huge queries comment on what the variables are for)??
yes. i don't know if mysql supports them but i think it works like this:
$query =
INSERT INTO table /* comment */
VALUES
( '{$array['index1']['index2']}'
, '{$array['index2']['index3']}' );
hth,
chris.

I could have put a tag in the template like {bio} but that'd mean

{bio}
{/if}
i've never used smarty* but i think i understand how it works. so my
question is this...
would it not be better to place that logic in your php code instead of
your template?
what you suggest is handy for situations where you want to limit access
to anything remotely programmy from users/designers who have no
understanding/experience etc (or who use tools like FrontPage...yuck!)
(Maybe DreamWeaver is a better option, has better HTML output/processing
and can be made to work nicely with Smarty templates.)
BUT...
It's probably important to understand that templating is really about
the seperation of presentation application/business logic in order to
allow, for example, better task seperation (interface/graphic designers
edit templates and programmers edit PHP files) and not about the
seperation of code content (or HTML PHP or somesuch): it is true
that most ('so called' -- not all are really template engines) allow you
to also seperate the HTML PHP.
bare this in mind: PHP is also a templating engine! image 1 file which
does calculation, DB transactions and setting output variables and
another file which outputs HTML according to logic that reacts to the
values of the output variables.
to me performance is second to everything else (I prefer slow code thats
well documented, loosely coupled* and easily extentable to super fast
unreadable tightly coupled code) - first make it do what you need it to
do! you can always optimize later and if the code is still not fast
enough then code accelerators (like the ZendAccelerator or PHPa) and
faster hardware probably offer the cheapest (and mostly quickly
implemented) performance boost.
I think Smarty is a really good tool and very well supported
documented. I have run into limitations regarding PHP5 dereferenced
object syntax and static object call syntax which led me to investigate
the template parsing mechanism of Smarty - I found regular expressions
which exceeded 1000 chars in length!! this I found to be a little
worrying, none the less Smarty is still faster I see very little
slowdown even when forcing a recompile on every page hit as opposed to
not using Smarty at all.
I hope that adds to you understanding a bit. If anything is unclear or I
have stated something that is incorrect I'd love to hear about it --
always looking to learn more about stuff, especially PHP!

*coupling refers to the level of interdependency of various elements
with you application. using Smarty _allows_ you to loosen the coupling
between business presentation logic (you can technically write all
your business logic in Smarty templates but that is ill-advised) by
creating a std API for transfering data from one layer to the next.
my thinking is this: if {bio} contains anything, it will print to the
page. if it doesn't contain anything, nothing will be printed. so
there's no need to check the value of $level within the template since
{bio} will simply contain something, or it will not.
i'm purely looking to understand this smarty thing a little better. :)

Or are you saying:

$pt-render('contact.tpl');
OR
$pt = new MyPage;
$pt -render('prices.tpl');
OR
$pt = new MyPage;
$pt-render('index.tpl');
I can see the benefit of this method if that's what you mean.
That's what I meant. :) I guess I was too consise.
